I just though of something. What if the bucket level is less than the lake level. I guess this means you have a leak in the bucket. Good way to test a bucket for leaks?
JB I'm just funning now!!

Well, it would be funny to sneak into Eddies pond and drain out water from the bucket.... or add more....

Maybe the water level isn't changing...
I think the shoreline has grown.

Don't know if you have seen the mounted heads that Eddie has in his shop. If you haven't, you might want to search his threads. He has almost every size and type of animal except for a human. I am pretty sure you won't want to be the first. Mess with the bucket and you take your chances. Yuk...yuk...yuk!

John, You are truly an evil minded sneaky kind of guy. I regret not being closer to the scene as I would surely love to help you do it (I could be the lookout?) Maybe a water snake in the bucket would add to the effect.
David, That adds to the challenge. Counting coup on a blind cripple wouldn't be much fun. To get in and out with Eddie and his Annie Oakley lady friend about might require we don Ghillie suits and go in during the dark of the moon about 3AM. Maybe a slight distraction like firecrackers going off at random intervals in different places well away from the lake to draw attention elesewhere...

I take it you have seen the photo of the wild boar? Don't think I would want to join it. I can see it now, one of us on the ground with Eddie's foot on our shoulder, him holding the rifle with a "BIG" smile on his face. Don't think I would try it even with a Ghillie suit. But you have to admit it sure is entertaining thinking about. The adding or removing water from the bucket is something that matches my personality to a "T". A usual type of behavior that I reserve for close friends and family but there is always "pay back".

David, If you put on the IR resistant BDU's under the Ghillie and use proper distraction it should not be too difficult.
Maybe a diferent approach would be better. Go in broad daylight during the week. Wear a red reflector safety vest and carry a back pack with an antenna with a dayglow orange flag on it. Carry a clipboard and wear a phony ID badge proclaiming you as part of a state survey team. Then when not being observed too closely you sureptitiously lower a tube into the bucket and add or subtract water. When/if detected, complement the owner on his beautiful project and ask if he minds you coming back a couple times with your equipment to check for anomalous indicatioins that have been giving you errors in nearby locations. Maybe you should just go to the door and ask permission to walk your "GPS" datalogger around the property to help you calibrate your equipment in light of errors you have got in the local area. Hiding something in plain sight is very effective. Wear a cap with a pro hunting slogan and a jacket with a shotgun pad on the shoulder.

Pat,
Great idea as well as entertaining. Guess I am starting to feel guilty for high-jacking this thread. Thanks for the laughs.

You guys are killing me!!!
I sure am glad none of you live around here. I truly would be up nights trying to figure out what was going on with the water level.
I'm not convinced the water bucket will tell me anything, but I am curious to what happens with it in the lake. I was gonna do it this week, but had to work on a job, then a few projects here and now it's raining. 3/4 of an inch so far, but nothing very heavy.
I'll post pictures of the bucket when I put it in, then follow up on it when there is a change.
Here's a few hunting pictures for Farwell.

Eddie,
Did you ever hear of the restaurant in Rio Vista California that had over 100 stuffed animals on their walls. I forget the name of it. I have eaten there several times and when I worked for KGO TV we did several stories on the huge collection. Looked it up on the Internet, it was called Fosters' Bighorn.
Outside of a museum and the restaurant, you have the largest private collection that I have ever seen. It is beautiful. The wild boar photos are great. From the photos you two look like a very well matched pair. Thanks for the photos.
Glad you enjoyed the humor.
